Apartment

My apartment rocks. I am right outside the Porta Romana and next to the Boboli gardens.

See that no entry sign? The green shutters, past the white flowers, are the door to my apartment. No the one upstairs.

Here is the view from the doorway, through those flowers. The terrace is nice and big and gets sun most of the day. Because most of the streets in town are lined with 4-5 story buildings, the sun does not penetrate everywhere, so I feel lucky to have gotten this location.

I am meeting some students at the Duomo to buy one of their bikes in an hour. We will see if I can last in this town on two wheels, better than that other American did.
